copying recovery disks to USB flash drive

Hi All,

Is there any way to take the Acer recovery disks (the ones that return the netbook to factory conditions) and copy their images/contents onto a USB flash drive? I dont have an external CD drive and would like to avoid additional costs if possible.

 

Here's two forum links

Look at the forth item listings

Thanks, but how can I actually get the ISO file off of the Acer discovery disks (disks provided my Acer, not made by myself) and onto the USB drive??

I don't have any other ISO file. Acer customer support told me there is no way to convert from their disks to a USB drive and successfully perform recovery, but maybe they didn't know every possible solution.

 

Hi

You can use ImgBurn to create ISOs of any CD/DVD and also to burn ISOs to CD/DVDs.

 

Thanks, so the Acer factory recovery disks are not actually copy-protected ?
